New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez: We 'are not under-taxed; the government has simply over-spent'

Like fellow Republican governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina, New Mexico's new governor, Susana Martinez, is her state's first female chief executive. She is also the nation's first Latina governor, as Haley is the first woman governor in the United States of Indian descent....

....She has ordered the state jet sold, cut expenses at the governor's residence by 55%, including letting go the two personal chefs who had been working there, cut her cabinet members' salaries by 10% and frozen all new vehicle purchases, except for law enforcement, among other stringencies......




From the Article:
New Mexicans are not fooled when bureaucrats, whose salaries are many times that of the average teacher, claim the only place to cut is from the classroom. They’re not fooled when a school district spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on PR staff and then claims it has nowhere to cut but the classroom.

Or when school districts waste education dollars hiring lobbyists but then claim that the budget must be balanced by cutting teachers.

The truth is, the waste is there and it must be eliminated.


We need a lot more elected officials like this, especially in Washington D.C.:cool::)

whoa whoa whoa... this type of rhetoric is going to get someones plush gov't job taken away. cut that shit out right now before someone seriously gets hurt.
 
while this is good, it's pretty much just for show. none of those things are going to make a noticeable dent in any state's budget

oh and now two more people are unemployed :fly:

such a bad way to look at it. You gotta start somewhere and that extra fluff at home is the best place. Every bit helps get back on track.

the unemployed chefs part was a joke but this is purely for show. plenty of other politicians have done shit just like this in the past but never manage to make a significant difference

this is fluff. big deal
 
Our newly elected governor has today proposed increasing taxes on alcohol, soda, and timeshare properties, as well as cutting back public worker salary, benefits, and medicaid programs. He might just be the most hated man in the state right about now. I love it.
